    摘要: Disclosed is a method of determining a correction for a measurement of a target and an associated apparatus. The measurement is subject to a target-dependent correction parameter which has a dependence the target and/or a stack on which the target is comprised. The method comprises obtaining first measurement data relating to a measurement of a fiducial target, said first measurement data comprising at least a first and second set of intensity parameter values: and second measurement data relating to a measurement of the fiducial target, the second measurement data comprising a third set of intensity parameter values. A target-invariant correction parameter is determined from said first measurement data and second measurement data. the target-invariant correction parameter being a component of the target-dependent correction parameter which is not dependent on the target and/or a stack: and the correction is determined from said target-in-variant correction parameter.

    摘要: The system includes a radiation source, a diffractive element, an optical system, a detector, and a processor. The radiation source generates radiation. The diffractive element diffracts the radiation to generate a first beam and a second beam. The first beam includes a first non-zero diffraction order and the second beam includes a second non-zero diffraction order that is different from the first non-zero diffraction order. The optical system receives a first scattered beam and a second scattered radiation beam from a target structure and directs the first scattered beam and the second scattered beam towards a detector. The detector generates a detection signal. The processor analyzes the detection signal to determine a target structure property based on at least the detection signal. The first beam is attenuated with respect to the second beam or the first scattered beam is purposely attenuated with respect to the second scattered beam.

    摘要: Disclosed is a metrology device (1600) configured to produce measurement illumination comprising a plurality of illumination beams, each of said illumination beams being spatially incoherent or pseudo-spatially incoherent and comprising multiple pupil points in an illumination pupil of the metrology device. Each pupil point in each one of said plurality of illumination beams has a corresponding pupil point in at least one of the other illumination beams of said plurality of illumination beams thereby defining multiple sets of corresponding pupil points, and the pupil points of each set of corresponding pupil points are spatially coherent with respect to each other.
